She gave a low groan and heard a flush in one of the bathroom stalls. She quickly turned around to see one of Wonderful come out and wash their hands. She was one of the youngest in the group, Sunmi. 'Did she hear me?' Yoobin wondered. She pretended to put make up on so it didn't look like she was there just to sort out her thoughts. Sunye was still back at the library.
"Yoobin-ssi, right?" the girl said and Yoobin looked at her, a bit startled. She nodded shyly. "I saw your winning pictures. I must say they're really pretty. You are a natural beauty, you should be a model!"
Yoobin felt embarrassed and simply smiled. "Thank you, but I don't think I can compare to you," she said, complimenting her back. She really meant what she said, after seeing Wonderful and their great music and style, they were a great role model for future girl groups, like SUNNY although Sunye and her planned on adding on their own uniqueness.
"Your smile is also very beautiful," she said. "Just like the pictures."
"Pictures?" Yoobin asked. 'That person got more than one picture of me? How...?' she thought. 'Stalker?'
Sunmi nodded. She took out a pink flowered handkerchief out of her branded red bag and wiped her hands. "But I really think you deserved to win. Especially that picture of you smiling. It was the most beautiful out of everyone I've seen."
Yoobin blushed, feeling flattered by the beautiful and pretty Sunmi. But she really wondered how she looked like in the pictures. Someone must have taken them but how she won seemed to interest her more. She's never seen any of the pictures that everyone said was the winning prize.
"Um, Sunmi-ssi... where can I see the pictures that were sent in of me?" Yoobin asked. Sunmi applied her lip gloss on her smooth lips and answered her after finishing a few more touch ups.
"Well... there's pictures held by the photography club, probably examining your picture. But the best picture will probably be used as an advertisement for next year's contest. Some of the judges might be putting up your pictures right now, too."
Yoobin's eyes widened. "Is it okay if I see all of them?"
Sunmi looked at her oddly. "Oh...sure?" she said, wondering why she needed to. She thought that it was Yoobin who signed herself up in the contest, not some other person but she agreed anyway. She walked with her to the photography club.
"Hello," Sunmi said and every member looked up at her.
"Sunmi-ssi! You're back, are you going to model for us to--" probably the president of the club said and stopped when she saw Yoobin behind her. "Yoobin-ssi?"
Yoobin looked over Sunmi and found everyone staring at her. They started to whisper with one another, and she overheard words like "beautiful, unbelievable, it's true, amazing, photogenic, and smile." She faked a smile which was also very outstanding for them.
"You're even more gorgeous in person!" The female president announced. "It's no wonder you won! But the person who took them was also amazing. Who was it that took these pictures of you?"
Yoobin paused. She, too, had no idea who took the pictures. "I actually... don't know," she said quietly. The president gave her a confused stare.
"What do you mean?"
"I have no idea who took the pictures of me." Yoobin sighed. It really did look like she had a stalker and when she found him or her, she'll get ready to smack their head.
"Oh..." the president said. "Well, either way, I think that person really admires you. I mean those shots seemed to be filled with every kind of emotion."
Sunmi cleared her throat and smiled at the president. "Yoobin-ssi would like to see her pictures. It seems she hasn't even seen her own beauty. She's a very humble person." Yoobin felt embarrassed as she shook her head.
"I see. I can tell, and that is a great thing, she's very beautiful and her personality must be admirable. Well, one of our members has your pictures somewhere." She looked around and saw a guy with shaggy black hair and thick-framed glasses. The president walked over to him and whispered some things to him and returned with an envelope. "Here's all your pictures. If it's alright with you, can we use your pictures for a study session and so that you can be our model?"
"Umm..." she started to say, wondering if she should. "I guess it wouldn't hurt. Sure!"
The president smiled and thanked her many times. "Well, we have to get back to our work now," she said and Yoobin nodded.
"Yes, thank you very much," Yoobin replied and bowed, the president did the same. Sunmi walked with her back to the library. Yoobin clutched the envelope tightly in both of her hands, wondering what beauty was hidden inside. The two were quiet as they walked along, while Yoobin received many smiles and greetings and congratulations from many people. Yoobin finally spotted Sunye sitting by herself at a table while reading a thick book.
"Sunye-ah!" Yoobin called out and was shushed by the librarians and other students. Sunmi giggled beside her.
"I'll see you later then, Yoobin-ssi." Sunmi waved goodbye and headed to an aisle. Yoobin glided across the room to sit beside Sunye.
"I have my pictures!" Yoobin said excitedly, hoping that she won't be let down by the photographer, or maybe the stalker.
Sunye smiled. "Let me see!"
Yoobin nodded and carefully opened the envelope, pulling the pile of pictures out. She laid it out on the table. The pictures were jaw-dropping and breathtaking. She couldn't even believe her own eyes that those were her.
"Yoobin-ah... how'd you get even MORE beautiful?" Sunye said quietly, astonished by the pictures of her best friend. They examined the first picture, the one where she was asleep on a desk.
"This one was in class," she said. She remembered the day where she was just so dang sleepy that she had to take a nap. Luckily, the teacher never caught her because at the moment, she was sitting all the way at the back of the room.
"You look so cute!" Sunye shout-whispered. "Oh, this one looks so pretty!"
Yoobin turned to where Sunye pointed at and grabbed the picture. It was a candid picture where she didn't even know someone took a picture of her, even though technically she didn't know that she was taken a picture of in all of them. She was wearing casual clothes, like any other normal day. In the picture she was holding, she was wearing a hat that slightly covered her face, and she was at an angle, meaning the person who took it was probably hiding behind her somewhere. But something about the ordinariness of it made it seem so outstanding and extravagant. Even she couldn't believe it was her, although the facial features and the clothes clearly indicated it was her.
"Seriously... who took these pictures?" Yoobin asked, wondering who had that much free time to go on stalking her. She kept coming back to what Sunye had said. TOP. She shook her head. "Impossible," she repeated. Sunye looked at her weirdly and rolled her eyes, thinking Yoobin must be going crazy after seeing a FEW of her pictures.
"Of course all of these would be candid shots... but most of them have that certain effect," Sunye said, trying to understand the "physics" of the pictures. "There's a hidden meaning in each one."
Yoobin agreed, but even she didn't know what it was. Only the mystery photographer or stalker could tell them. But they had no idea who he or she was.
"Whoa, you're wearing a dress here!" Sunye said and held the picture of Yoobin wearing a white dress with a black belt around her waist and a black&white sandals. "Wasn't this a week ago when we went to the party that YG invited us for?"
Yoobin nodded. "Yeah, I remember I was wearing that a day before B4B suddenly left. They didn't even tell us until that day."
"That means your stalker was in that party! Wasn't it VIP only?" Sunye asked, getting more confused by the second. Yoobin sighed, feeling more stressed than ever. She quickly looked through all the pictures, and indeed all of them were "model-worthy" but she couldn't find any that was actually what they would call a winning picture.
"Yoobin-ssi?" a tall stranger, probably another student younger than them, walked up to her while she held a small poster. "Can I get your autograph?"
Yoobin looked at her and smiled. She seemed like a little child asking her idol for her signature, although it was technically like that anyway. "Sure, why not."
The shy girl held out the poster and Yoobin's eyes widened as she saw a picture of herself, none like any others. The poster was herself, smiling brightly, the most wonderful smile that made all the girls in her past schools envious. She hasn't shown that smile ever since, not wanting to attract anymore attention. She's only showed that smile to very few people like EXTREMELY close friends, like Sunye and her family, but most of the time it was only when she was EXTREMELY happy.
She swiftly turned her head to Sunye's. Sunye already realized what she was thinking. "Yoobin-ah... it's your legendary smile! This smile will make anyone fall in love with you or will make any girl jealous!" Sunye exclaimed. "But how did they take this without your permission?"
Another part that wasn't mentioned was this. The picture wasn't candid. Yoobin was actually looking straight at the camera, smiling at the person who took it. But when... ? She was given a small nudge by Sunye. They were both thinking, "how did she get this picture?"
"Um, how did you get this picture?" asked Yoobin hesitantly. She wondered if there were posters like that everywhere. The girl smiled.
"I paid a lot to get this. Did you know it was limited? Apparently this was your winning picture!" She said enthusiastically. Yoobin sighed, feeling like the world is about to end. 'What is happening?' she thought. Just then, she felt a small vibration from the pocket of her jeans. She pulled out her cell phone and found the CID as Taeyang. She flipped it open and brought it close to her ear.
"Yeobosaeyo?" Yoobin said to the phone. She heard a quiet snicker on the other line. "Taeyang?" she asked, making sure it was REALLY Taeyang and not TOP.
"Yoobin-ah," he said, and Yoobin guessed that Taeyang got his phone back. "Congrats in winning the modeling contest."
Yoobin's eyes widened. "How did you know about this?"
"I just do. I knew you would win it." Yoobin glanced at Sunye with the same expression.
"You knew? Meaning... you were thinking I would win, even before I did... it can't be. It was you who signed me up in the contest?" Yoobin said. Half of her was feeling angry at him but the other half was feeling that he was doing that because he simply liked her. Taeyang stayed quiet.
"Maybe."
Yoobin groaned. "Yah, you could have told me!"
Taeyang laughed gleefully and sighed. "I have to go, I'll talk to you later."
Yoobin rolled her eyes and said bye.
--- --- ---
Taeyang clicked the end button and sighed. He stuffed it back into his front pockets of his jeans and stared at the blank wall in front of him. "I need to win her love." He let out a quiet grunt as he lowered his hat, leaning his elbows on his knees as he sat on the chair just outside of the rehearsal room. He remembered everything so clearly as he held the piece of paper.
* FLASHBACK ! *
Taeyang opened the door and found TOP sitting on the ground with the phone that he stole from him. "Yah, give it back!" TOP groaned. "Fine," TOP replied and grumpily gave back his phone. As Taeyang walked back, he went around the corner when he heard a call for TOP. He peeked back and found Jiyong and TOP talking. They seemed to be talking in a quiet and suspicious way, so this cranked up his curiosity. He leaned in closer so that he could hear but still kept close behind the wall.
"What is it now?" TOP asked Jiyong, annoyed. Jiyong smiled brightly for him and gave him a paper rolled up like a poster. TOP looked confused and grabbed it, opening it slowly. His annoyed face quickly disappeared as it transformed to a face of delight like a poor person winning the lottery. Taeyang didn't understand what was going on.
"It's the limited version of the model's winner. Apparently, they said only a few were handed out. But it will be most likely that people would somehow want to get their hands on it. It was shipped three days after we left so it just came today. She's absolutely amazing, even I could fall in love with her," Jiyong said. Taeyang shook his head, knowing that Jiyong was very loyal to his girlfriend. Who exactly were they talking about?
TOP flashed him a jolly smile. "Of course she's amazing! But don't fall in love with her, pabo. I already have Taeyang as my BIGGEST rival."
Taeyang frowned. 'Rival?' he wondered. The only person they were fighting for was Yoobin. 'Yoobin...Yoobin!' he thought and stared at the poster TOP was clutching so tightly on.
- - Taeyang sneakily snuck in TOP's locker and took out his bag. They were having lunch at the moment and he was the only one still there. He unzipped the Adidas bag and looked inside, looking for a poster. And he found the jackpot. There, on the poster, was the most beautiful girl he's ever seen. If it hadn't been Yoobin, he could have fallen in love, but it was. It was the same girl he had fallen in love with and the only girl he loved, and the only girl he's fought for. He looked back at the door, expecting TOP or any other members of B4B to come out, but no one was there. He couldn't just put the picture back and act as if he hadn't seen the most amazing picture of the girl he loved. Slowly, he slid the poster carefully rolled up in his jacket. He closed his bag and stuffed it back into TOP's locker. Before he left, he looked back at TOP's locker.
"Mianhae, TOP..."
